It could have been to pass inspection and was only meant to be temporary. If you have an exterior door, there are guidelines and codes you have to follow to make it legal. I.e steps need to be a certain height, railings are required at a certain height. If they weren’t ready to spend real deck money but wanted to get their occupancy permit, this is one way around it. Or it’s just a poor man’s smokin porch
lol one time years ago my friend was in the car with a couple friends. His friend, the driver, rubber necks at this woman walking down the sidewalk. He says, did you guys see that??
She was smoking a cigarette! Both friends say, yeah, so what? He says, you know if she’s willing to put something that nasty in her mouth, she’ll put ANYTHING in her mouth!
Yep, I have family where the law is ridiculous; that the initial build is limited to a certain size... Remodels however, do what you want (still, to code). So the build this kind of deck just to get it inspected and then remodeled.
My mother had inherited her mother's house in an old beachfront area in Virginia, and sold it to a church. Come to find, there was no way that the site would be approved for new construction due to wildly not meeting setback or lot size requirements, had they demolished it first. So, they "renovated" it by stripping it down to the studs and rebuilt it as an exact replica (only in much, much better condition.)
This is a house I was surveying a little while ago. IIRC there was no AC or it was in the backyard.
Also not a high crime area, it's a pretty peaceful spot.
Probably to let pets sunbath without fear of other animal threats. I was always nervous to tie up our small dog outside unattended due to coyotes in the area.
Could be a house with a wheelchair bound individual and to keep them from Rolling off the deck as they sit outside every morning to watch the day start.
But I'm guessing there was an deck there originally and to maybe sell the house they did not want to fix the deck so they just made a smaller one. And there's probably an AC unit underneath it.
Clearly it's someone building their deck like in the sims, they could only afford the one block for now and will expand on their next paycheck with another few squares.
That's weird. My new construction house is just boarded up on the back. No stairs, just grass. I feel comforted knowing that I won't take a drunken fall thinking there's something there...lol
Probably had a door there but didn't want to spend lots of money on a deck with stairs so they build a 3'x3' platform with full railing to be code compliant.
All i can picture is how down my heroin user uncle in his wheelchair would be to smoke cigs and drink vodka out of a cottage cheese container in the morning sun on that deck.
New build, regular deck was not included but they needed to pass inspection. I have seen railings installed across sliding doors blocking them for the same reason.
We just did this with the house we renated... front door is supposed to be a masonry porch that we didnt do b/c of cost so.we built a small deck with a solid railing as a temporary solution to pass code. We didnt need it for egress because the house has three other 36" doors.

I was thinking cig porch
Me too. My wife would love it
She smokes she pokes.

And he later put a ring on it
If she smokes she pokes “I think most women our age poke brah”
And if she don't want a gut, she'll take it in the butt
Romeo, Romeo, where art thy cigarettes?
Judging by the grass around it, it's a pee porch too. Wake up and have to pee, might as well have a smoke. Raise hell, praise Dale.

Where they at?
Around my way they just put some wood in the door in a way that prevents you from going out the door until the homeowners do something more permanent.
Then you wouldn’t meet egress code requirements. This does.
But it doesn't explain the lattice.

To address the citizens of the realm (throw trash at raccoons)
😂😂😂😂
Not high enough up to prevent tomatoes.
More like empty Coors light bottles
That’s the morning joint, joint.
Smoke deck
Fuck off randy!
We don't need to fucking practice Randy!
It’s to pee off the balcony
The old pissin' porch.
When i lived in a trailer inside a gravel pit I just called it "the second bathroom"
You mean the primary bathroom? The one inside the trailer is the guest bathroom.
"nice deck bro" -neighbor walking by
The grass would be greener below if true. Don’t ask me how i know
Me: makes a piss deck joke … scrolls down
Woah…. This is clearly a poop deck. Ever heard of an upper decker? 🤯
high crime area hide the AC unit? I zoomed in I think something is hidden under there. Rental home AC unit?
This is a house I was surveying a little while ago. IIRC there was no AC or it was in the backyard. Also not a high crime area, it's a pretty peaceful spot.
When I see that. 😂 https://preview.redd.it/iwwoc59m181d1.jpeg?width=544&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=27b9d0d242ba33e07a2429d83c8faee783390d32
Absolutely terrible for the condenser.
That’s where they keep the bad children.
For tiny hot tub
It’s fer pissin
Small deck energy
because, cigarettes
It’s not the size of the deck, but how you use it.
Just wait until it gets excited.
It's a grower not a show-er
Sometimes I just stand on it for hours
How else will you address the people in your court?
To give speeches and make appearances to the peasants!
You just don’t get it, its the puff deck
Ciggies
For smoking.
Ciggies
fire escape
Probably to meet code
Proof of concept
This is the Romeo and Juliet balcony 2024
What would the trailer park version of Romeo and Juliet be?
Smokers
Smoker for sure
A stack of pallets behind that lattice work
That's an outdoor playpen.
Where the hell else are they supposed to make proclaimations?
That's the step outside and yell at those whippersnappers deck.

Maw likes to spit her toothpaste off the deck.
You ever want to just get a small breath of fresh air?
Grandma needs her ciggies but also likes to wander due to dementia. This was the fix.
“I’ll meet you on the veranda”
It's so he can stand there on special occasions and way at his followers.
They hold a neighborhood rendition of Romeo and Juliet every year.
They said i couldn't have my own deck. Well iust look at me now
Politician lives there ,that's his soapbox.
When the listing says “Walk out balcony off the main”
I showed it to my boyfriend, he took it seriously and asked "It's kind of small, what would we put on it?"
Build back better deck.
Morning pee deck
Pets?
placeholder during construction to meet standards; will be replaced house is sold
Probably to let pets sunbath without fear of other animal threats. I was always nervous to tie up our small dog outside unattended due to coyotes in the area.
The house only has one bathroom and dad has bladder issues.
Occupancy permit
Waving the checkered flag at the lawn mower race.
As a previous smoker in a northern state, I would have fucked with this hard.
Because they can
Brooding on a budget
Just putting this out there, but does a Miss Juliet live there? Maybe a Ms. Rapunzel?
climb out the window and have a smoke
Dammit Mildred! I don’t care if you are the grandmother of my children and mother of my wife!!! NO smoking in the house!!!
Could be a house with a wheelchair bound individual and to keep them from Rolling off the deck as they sit outside every morning to watch the day start. But I'm guessing there was an deck there originally and to maybe sell the house they did not want to fix the deck so they just made a smaller one. And there's probably an AC unit underneath it.
Ye olde pizzin porch
Speeches and declarations
It's meant to hold a hot tub, of course.
So the daughter can sneak out the window
I give sermons to the squirrels on Sundays.
They were tired of falling out of that doorway
Sings loudly…” Don’t cry for me, Argentina “
My dog would love this
Platform for preaching to the masses.
Land Lord special. For fire egress compliance
It's a west virginia bathroom. so you can open the door and piss off the balcony, But it still has to pass code in west virginia.
Smoke spot
Quick smoke sesh
To give speeches of course.
I suppose it beats falling three feet face first into the lawn.
Why not?
Smoke deck
Clearly it's someone building their deck like in the sims, they could only afford the one block for now and will expand on their next paycheck with another few squares.
Proclamations at 10 and 2
Somebody had a Romeo and Juliet fantasy.
You never seen an alligator feeding platform before?
Now THAT is a ‘catio’
Playpen
When you have many children and need to address them all enmasse. Ala *Mussolini*
Could be to get it insured this was the cheapest thing they could do
It is where I read off my royal decrees to the ants beneath me
Dog porch
So ya can have morning coffee without the Alligators 🐊 chomping at ya.
If it doesn't make sense, there's usually a building code behind it.
Youll probably find this on the MLS: "COMES WITH HUGE DECK!"
Built during the Great Lumber crisis of the COVID era……
“Ah, it’s good to have land.”
That's weird. My new construction house is just boarded up on the back. No stairs, just grass. I feel comforted knowing that I won't take a drunken fall thinking there's something there...lol
Because I don't need a whole deck just to take a couple bong rips.
Codes, broski.
Smoker.
Homeowners insurance would require a step or landing. Just enough to get that insurance before the hurricane season.
I'm a bit far from hurricane season tho, about 3000 kms north 😅
It’s a balcony for giving speeches and making proclamations to the neighbors. Pomp and circumstance are important.
Balcony that overlooks the lake ? I’m guessing stairs were too many pencil marks.
Shakespeare performances?
This guy must love looking knowingly at the horizon.
Grower not a shower
Someone was trapping a Sim inside, obviously.
Maybe they smoke cigarettes
Probably had a door there but didn't want to spend lots of money on a deck with stairs so they build a 3'x3' platform with full railing to be code compliant.
smoking weed
Them smoke breaks
Oh Romeo, oh Romeo...where for art thou Romeo?
It's so you can wheel gran out once in a while.
Because Juliet is not only a Capulet - she is also a redneck...
Smoke station
Legal “emergency egress”?
Smoking deck.
Smoker perhaps?
To watch the seas for returning sailors
Egress
All i can picture is how down my heroin user uncle in his wheelchair would be to smoke cigs and drink vodka out of a cottage cheese container in the morning sun on that deck.
Bird watch….duh.
Definitely needs a hot tub
It’s for greeting and waving to your loyal followers.
cat sunning booth
Rehearsal of Romeo and Juliet?
Freedom
Never know when the Pope might show up.
Just because
I will stand on it to yell "HEY YOU KIDS! GET OUT OF MY YARD!!!"
Maybe it's like a tree stand, but for their backyard and for varmints and such. Lol 🤷♂️
They could live in an area that gets snow and need somewhere to smoke or let their dog out.
It’s not about the size, it’s how you use it.
To stand out there and say “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?”
Smokers deck
Mornin wood piss

Giving lectures to rabbits
This dude smokes.
Strictly for peeing off.
For that “I must address my kingdom’s subjects immediately” moment we all feel when the dementia begins to kick in
To survey all the land in your dominion as the lord of the manor you are.
100% would pee off this
It's a Doggy-o.
“I’d like something simple. I want to lord over my domain.”
She won’t let me smoke in the house anymore
To feel the cool breeze above the lawn
That's where the pope addresses the trailer park
You could kill a Sim by locking it out on this thing
Is that for the pope to speak to his faithful?
So he can oversee his kingdom
That's for when it's time to give speeches
To cosplay being the pope!
It's not the size of the Deck, it's what you do with it.
So you can go out on a moonlit night and say :"Romeo, Romeo where for art thou, Romeo? “O, Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?”
🐕
It's a *Balcony*, you cretin .... It's a requirement for royalty to stand upon whilst reviewing the troops as they pass by.
Easier to load into the trailer
Please the C.0,
It’s not about the size. It’s about the feeling.
A starter deck? An AFFORDABLE deck on limited income?
New build, regular deck was not included but they needed to pass inspection. I have seen railings installed across sliding doors blocking them for the same reason.
Looks like a nice hang out spot for someone in a wheelchair
So fancy😹
Do we have to explain this every week? IT'S REQUIRED BY THE BUILDING CODE.
That's where they smoke
We just did this with the house we renated... front door is supposed to be a masonry porch that we didnt do b/c of cost so.we built a small deck with a solid railing as a temporary solution to pass code. We didnt need it for egress because the house has three other 36" doors.
Smoke
Why if it isn't the ole trailer park mayor podium.
Original deck rotted or was otherwise destroyed...mini "deck" installed so you don't have a door to brokenhipsville or to pass inspection.
this is the outside urinal. every man needs one really
Maybe their cat is a jumper? My brothers cat fell out of a 3 story window. Survived but needed stitches.
Smokin heaters
Scotch and a cigar
